Transcollines with STO

Thanks to a partnership with the STO

Transcollines users are able to take advantage of a combined fare system and a fully integrated service offering access to the services of STO and OC Transpo including the Ottawa’s light rail service.

The combined fares of Transcollines being a valid fare of the STO, Transcollines users may access OC Transpo services according to the same access conditions as those in effect with the STO.

The STO’s service is responsible for trips which have Gatineau as the point of departure AND arrival. A user cannot board a Transcollines vehicle if it is travelling on Gatineau territory towards Gatineau, nor can they exit a Transcollines vehicle when it is on Gatineau territory travelling towards des Collines.

When purchasing a single-trip fare FOR A COMBINED TRIP in a Transcollines vehicle, you must: 

1. Upon boarding, deposit the exact cash amount for a combined trip into the fare box. No change will be given.
2. The driver will give you an STO transfer ticket so that you can continue travelling within the STO network. It is possible to request your transfer ticket while entering or exiting the vehicle. 

When you pay for your single fare in an STO vehicle, you must:

1. When boarding, pay your fare by depositing the amount in cash or a single STO ticket in the collection box. No change will be given.
2. Ask the driver for a connection if your trip requires a connection on the STO, OC Transpo, or Transcollines network.
3. The driver will give you an STO transfer ticket at no additional cost.

On your return, upon boarding the Transcollines vehicle, you can pay your fare by depositing an STO transfer ticket plus $2.00 (Combined Collines single pass) or $17.00 (Combined Pontiac single Pass) into the fare box. The transfer ticket must be deposited into the Transcollines fare box. Users paying their fare in a Transcollines vehicle with an STO transfer ticket cannot request another STO ticket for a further transfer within the STO network.

No courtesy stops are authorized on the territory of the city of Gatineau where boarding and exiting must mandatorily take place at the predetermined Transcollines stops, identified by a bus stop sign.

Considering the high traffic at Transcollines bus stops, which are often located in the same area as those of the STO, we kindly ask you to signal your presence to the Transcollines driver, using a hand gesture, to facilitate your identification among other STO passengers.
